Seventy-seven drawings: a splendid portfolio of vigorous outdoor scenes--portrait vignettes, full-page, and double-page illustrations--by this most famous of Western artists, accompanied by verses by the author of the prototype Western novel, The Virginian. Included is a double-page spread in color, "Caught in the Circle: the last stand of three troopers and a scout overtaken by a band of hostile Indians" which is everything a Remington should be.
